Why test for nitrite?

Within your pond, fish waste together with uneaten food and dead fish or plants are decomposed in a process known as the Nitrogen Cycle. This cycle involves the decomposition of fish waste etc. from ammonia, ammonia into nitrite, and nitrite into nitrate.

Ammonia, nitrite and to a lesser extent nitrate are harmful to the fish in your pond.

Nitrite is formed during the second stage of the Nitrogen Cycle and is harmful to your fish. Even low concentrations of nitrite in your pond water can adversely affect your fish, causing them to gasp at the water surface and become very lethargic.

In severe cases long term exposure to nitrite can be fatal.

Therefore it is important to test the level of your nitrite regularly, to ensure optimum water quality, weekly testing is recommended.
